They have a drawing where you put in your kid's name and if they are picked, it goes on an airplane.
Seagull and BoomBoom can probably give you even more information.
That's correct, and it is open to all employees, not just pilots. You fill out a form. If you get picked and one is already named that, they let you know. They also provide a photo for the drawing winners, as I recall.
For the record, all of them are MD-10s now, we don't have any DC-10s left, but the ATC computers aren't capable of knowing that!
